“… Fact: liberals throughout New York state have had it out for Cuomo for his center right policies …”

Not exactly. They’ve had it out for him because his left of center policies do not go far enough. Plus, he’s not embraced the mainline Senate Democrat caucus because he correctly recognizes them as clowns.

That is actually unfair to the Governor. The MTA has been a mess for decades.

“… He could lose in a primary and he could lose in a general election, just like his father did …”

True, however, it would require two things to happen. First, the GOP would have to get their act together and I’ve seen no signs of that. Second, the Democrats would have to unite in their efforts to boot him. I’ve seen no signs of that either.

“County clerks across the state are seeking an emergency meeting with Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other leaders about a Jan. 31 deadline for re-certifying handgun licenses under the 2013 SAFE Act gun control law … “We are unable to answer the numerous questions from our mutual constituents and other interested parties,” reads a Dec. 7 letter signed by Association President Annette Hill …”

I wouldn’t count on that happening. The Governor and legislature knew full well before voting that the so-called SAFE Act was a stinker, both on 2A grounds and administratively. They didn’t care. Cuomo thought he was going to be the leader of a new, populist gun control movement which would benefit him politically. However, the country went in the opposite direction towards more gun rights. So what would Cuomo’s motivation now be to revisit an issue he clearly miscalculated on? He’s already lost the votes of people north of I-84 and nothing he could do short of complete repeal would bring them back.

Gun control proponents aren’t known for using facts to back up their positions, however we’re plumbing new depths of stupidity with this argument against reciprocity:

“… Randi Bregman of Vera House in Syracuse says ultimately this kind of legislation would weaken New York’s gun control laws. For victims of domestic violence that could be deadly … Bregman says it’s not uncommon for victims of domestic violence to flee across state lines to somewhere they think is more safe. “They may have friends or family they may come to, and they may end up in New York State. And I think making the protections we have in New York to make concealed carry looser, could potentially put someone in harms way,” Bregman said …”

OMG. Is this idiot actually suggesting that people come to New York because they think our gun control laws make it safer? I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything remotely like that before. NYAGV doesn’t even do that. It’s like saying people are moving here because they like paying high taxes.
